News summary

In preparation for the Paris Olympics, French authorities are invoking broad anti-terror powers to restrict the movements of over 500 individuals deemed potential security threats, predominantly affecting minorities from former French colonies. These individuals, including a student and a halal food delivery driver, face daily police check-ins and are often barred from leaving their neighborhoods without prior approval. Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin states that the measures are designed to prevent attacks during the Games, but critics warn that the approach is excessively broad and lacks judicial oversight. Amine, a 21-year-old apprentice bank worker, claims to have been mistakenly identified as a threat due to his ethnic background and past associations. The implementation of these restrictions represents a significant increase compared to previous years, raising concerns about civil liberties and discrimination. Authorities maintain that heightened security measures are necessary to ensure public safety during the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics.
